About the Artists / Teachers:
Min Yoon tr. Citizen Truth

With butoh dance, vocals, and conflict studies, Min makes intimate, surreal, and psychosomatic performances and experiences of heightened relational emotions, permission for depths, and the emergent new. Min dances difficult truths beyond language through plurality of perspectives, unintentional movements within stillness and impulsive improvisation, and archetypes. Their dance collages intense imagery and physicality, stillness, and ritual.
Recent works switch between listening to their own body and the bodies of others. Their current solo work dancing-being-in-time depicts loops of movements, vocal tremors, and memories, with the body as an archive of pain, states, and transformation. In dancing with violence, they researched the bodily memories of violence of another dancer to create an auditory theater piece that invites the listeners to move and lightly embody the experiences poetically. In solo dance works, they connect conflicts within the body to archetypes and collective experiences, such as the Joker archetype and feelings of remorse at the edge of revenge, and comfort women (forced prostitutes of the Japanese army) as an older archetype engaging with the #metoo movement. In their choreographic experiments, they question how bodies respond and move together in groups, how we may find instinctual ways to move together beyond how our bodies were trained.
In Germany, Min danced at Dock11, Hošek Contemporary Gallery, Oyoun, ZK/U, Petersburg Arts Space, Trauma Bar und Kino (in residency), Kühlspot Social Club, p7 Gallery, Haus der Statistik, and 4fürtanz (leipzig). In the U.S. Min danced at CounterPulse (sf), Headwaters Theater (pdx), ProArts Gallery (sf), Highways Performance Space (la), Epic Immersive (sf). Min also dances in the streets and many underground community spaces as well as in churches and a temple devoted to Minerva in Italy.
Min’s performances and social art works have been funded by NATIONALES PERFORMANCE NETZ (npn) in Germany, Dachverband Tanz Deutschland, Kultuuri Kaupilla in Finland, The City of Oakland, The Battery Club of San Francisco, and the Awesome Foundation, with other artist residencies and grants. Min has also been a fellow at Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik (ZK/U Berlin) and an artcorps scholar at the Tamalpa Institute founded by Daria and Anna Halprin.

Wieland Möller is an experienced performer based in Berlin with movement and sound for over 20 years in the fields of jazz, improvised music, and contemporary dance. He recently completed a new Masters degree at the Musikhochschule Dresden on the connection of sound and movement, especially on the physicality of playing an instrument into extended movements and performative qualities. His recent solo performance work brings this research together with the topic of perception and awareness of different spaces. He is fascinated by making sounds visual and motions audible.
He studied at the Rotterdams Conservatory, Rhythmic Conservatory Copenhagen and Berklee College of Music and in New York. He has been a scholar of the Berklee College of Music, Goethe Institution Germany, and GVL. Wieland is the founder of the Akvariet Trio. He has performed at the Buenos Aires Jazz Festival, Jazz International Rotterdam Festival and among others, and has toured Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Iceland.
Being a performing musician and composer, Wieland Möller has been involved in dance and theater projects and performances, among others at the Biennale Berlin 2018, Junge Deutsche Oper Berlin, Gripstheatre, Reykjavik Dance Festival and Prague Dance Festival. He has worked with Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Markus Stockhausen, Klaas Hekman, Tobias Delius, Julyen Hamilton, Ingo Reulecke, Okwui Okpokwasili and other collaborators.
